Table of ring sizes and rules for determining them

How to Determine Ring Size

The classic size range of rings ranges from 13 to 23 sizes in increments of 0.5. To determine the size as accurately as possible, it is recommended to know the thickness of the finger, the width of the ring and the country of manufacture. Consider the following recommendations:

• During the day, the thickness of the fingers changes. You should not measure it immediately after waking up and active physical activity, or in extremely hot or cold weather. The best time to determine size is at the end of the day, when the finger thickness is optimal; if your finger thickness is between two sizes, choose the larger one;
• the diameter of the ring should be slightly larger than the thickness of the finger;
• the ring should fit tightly enough on the finger, but at the same time slide easily over the joint. If the joint is wider than the finger itself, you need to focus on the diameter of the joint;
• a ring with a wide rim (more than 4 mm) should be half a size larger than usual;
• There is no single international standard for determining ring size. The Russian system differs from the European one, so take into account the country of manufacture, use the correspondence table and double-check the latest measurements made by the jeweler.

Ring size table on Aliexpress

Knowing the ring size that suits you in one of the standards, for example Russian, you can easily select on Aliexpress the corresponding value in another, using the table of ratios of international ring sizes.

There are no separate tables for women's rings and separate tables for men's rings. It's universal. Women should pay more attention to the top half of the table, and men - to the bottom.

Determining finger size

There are two ways to determine finger size:

Sizing tape:

Write to us by email and order a free sizing tape. Be sure to include your contact information (full name and address, contact phone number, and postal code).

Determine your ring size yourself:

• take a narrow strip of paper or a piece of thread. Wrap the desired finger so that the material fits snugly but does not compress it;
• mark the point at which the resulting circle closes and measure its length;
• Compare the circumference with the ring size using the table. If the indicator is between two sizes, choose the larger one.

Standard finger ring sizes

The usual ring sizes for us are 16, 17, 18, etc. These numbers are equal to the internal diameter of the product in millimeters. This system has been adopted in the CIS countries. Jewelry sizes on AliExpress are most often indicated by the numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, etc. is an American naming system.

How to determine ring size on Aliexpress?

If you know the Russian size that suits you, then you can switch from it to the American standard using the formula 1.2 * Rr-13.8, where Rr is the size according to the Russian system (the value obtained as a result of calculations is rounded to whole numbers).

In addition to the American one, there are also British, Chinese and other systems. Read the product description carefully!

How to measure ring size and what it is

This is the diameter of the internal hole of the product in millimeters. In other words, the length of a segment between two points on a circle located opposite each other. The value is determined using a simple ruler. Typically the difference between different models is 0.5 mm. All measurement options that we present below do not guarantee the absence of error. Be sure to take into account the fact that the jewelry passes through the joint, as well as factors affecting the thickness of the body (air temperature: heat and cold, high humidity, a tendency to edema, sports training).

A product selected for the left hand may not be suitable for the right hand, since they are slightly different. The ideal time to measure diameter is mid-day with moderate weather conditions.

How to find out what size you need for a finger ring using the table

Take a not very wide and long strip of paper (1-1.5*5 cm). Do not wrap it too tightly around the finger on which you are choosing jewelry. Make a mark with a pen or pencil where the free end meets your hand. Measure the resulting segment with a ruler. In the same way, find out the girth of the joint. Look at the example values ​​below and choose an intermediate one. You can also do without this data. Just divide the length of the piece of paper by 3.14. This will be the diameter of the product. This option is more accurate, since the table does not always contain all possible results. For wide models, the number is rounded up, for narrow models - down.

How to measure finger size for a ring without paper

If there is no leaf near you, use a thread of medium thickness. It needs to be wrapped around five times so that the turns fit tightly to the skin. In this case, it is necessary that they can be removed freely without getting stuck on the joints. Cross the ends and trim them or mark the crossing with a marker. Remove the winding and use a ruler to find out the length. Then, using the same principle as in the previous method, calculate the diameter. Take the indicator, divide the value by 3.14 and round it down or up.

How to find out your finger ring size from another ring

This method is simpler and suitable for those who want to give a surprise gift. In fact, we have already described it at the beginning of the article. You can simply measure the distance between two opposite points on an existing decoration. If you don't have rulers at hand, place the product on a sheet of white paper and trace it from the inside with a pencil. In the store, show the template to the sales consultant and he will select the desired model using his patterns.

In addition to the above methods, there is one more. It is suitable for those who have the ability to print information. There are special blanks on the Internet - strips with divisions in cm. They are also fixed on the hand and the result is calculated.

How to determine ring size in international tables and in centimeters

Different countries have their own size ranges. For example, in the USA it is inches, in Europe it is not the diameter, but the circumference. Online stores usually indicate the correspondence that is familiar to the Russian eye, but if not, use the data we provide. Here they are.

Men's and women's jewelry is calculated as follows: using a paper strip, thread, a special scale or an existing sample. In the first two cases, the resulting figure is divided by 3.14. Since men wear large items, the resulting figure is rounded up. You can then refer to the tables provided below.

We told you how to understand what size ring you need for your finger. But this characteristic is not the only thing that is important to consider when searching for a product. The next part of the article is devoted to the issue of selection by shape and other qualities. We will also provide recommendations for those planning an engagement or engagement purchase.

Method number 4: according to clothing size

The most controversial theory is that finding out your size by clothing size is one of the best ways. But practice absolutely does not justify these data. Therefore, I do not recommend taking risks! People with the same clothing size can have ring sizes that vary by 0.5 mm or even a full centimeter.

All the ideas where you need to cut out diagrams from paper, try to find out the size of a finger while your beloved is sleeping, or compare it with the size of a coin, handprints on clay or paper, or a glove - will not give an exact number.

Method number 3: thread, measuring tape or strip of paper

Another popular tip is to take a piece of thick thread or a strip of paper, wrap it around your finger below the knuckle, trim the ends and make marks on them. To get a specific figure, it is recommended to divide the length of the segment in millimeters by the number π (3.14). Or use the table. The smallest phalangeal rings of size 15 indicate that the thread is 47 mm long.

Important: the method has a very high error, since any ring , unlike thread or paper, has a certain thickness, width and design. Rings made of paper, thread and metal products are completely different concepts. The thread can squeeze too much into the skin, and the paper, on the contrary, can add too much extra.

Other unusual ways to determine size:

1. By coins. 1 kopeck corresponds to size 16, and 1 ruble - 21. Other guidelines: 5 kopecks - size 19, 10 - 18, 50 - 19.5.
2. A glove made of thin leather (a thick one will not work). If the accessory fits your hand tightly and is not worn out, then you can take it with you to the specialist. An experienced jeweler will be able to accurately determine the parameters of the person who owns the brought glove.
3. By gender. According to statistics, adult women most often wear rings of sizes 16-17.5.
4. By palm print. Nowadays it is fashionable to design albums with casts and handprints. Invite the person to whom you are going to give a surprise to immortalize your hand in this simple way.

You can also find out the necessary information through friends or parents of the person you want to give a ring to. Many mothers will respond adequately to such a request and will be able to carry out a secret operation to find out the size better than anyone else. At the same time, no suspicion will fall on you, since all questions and manipulations will be carried out by a completely different person.

Important! If you don’t have a single trump card in your hands, and the recipient of the gift has never worn a ring before, then there is only one way out of the situation: buy an open-type product. It tolerates miscalculations. It can be worn with minimal discomfort with a difference of 1 size step. In other words, an open ring of size 18.5 will suit a girl who wears jewelry of size 19.5.

Finding your size - table

As mentioned above, to determine the size of the ring, it is enough to find out its diameter or the size of the finger on which the jewelry is worn. Having obtained such information, all that remains is to check the summary table.

Method No. 1: by ring diameter

The easiest way is to measure the inner diameter of the jewelry with a ruler from the same finger on which you need a new ring. For example, the diameter is 1.7 cm - 17 mm: your size is 17. If you cannot measure on the ring, place the product on a sheet of paper, circle inside and measure the diameter (two opposite points along the circumference through the center of the circle). Important: when using this method, remember that rings with a wide shank fit more tightly than thin ones. Therefore, their diameter is always slightly larger. You can only buy thin rings with a rim of up to 3 mm .

Tips and tricks when choosing a ring on AliExpress

If you are in doubt when choosing between two sizes, for example, you have calculated the circumference and it is in the interval between two table values, then you should choose the larger option.

On AliExpress, sellers can use the Chinese system. Its numbers are similar to the American system, but they do not correspond to each other. Therefore, if you cannot understand in which system the sizes are presented, and this is not indicated on the product page, then the best solution would be to ask the seller.

The size of jewelry with an unusual shape may vary. When ordering such a product on the official website on AliExpress, it is better to contact the seller and clarify information about the size of the jewelry. In this case, the purchase will take a little longer, but the chance that the ring will suit you will greatly increase.

You can also look at the comments and reviews of the product; there you can often find useful information about the size match from those who have already ordered this product. Cheap Chinese products may not be up to standard and may not fit even if you have sized your ring correctly.
